Bueklcr and Bradley held their
tirst and last jolht discussion al Gray
son, Carter county; last Wednesday.
Bradley spoke his piece and Buckner
took the stand and began his speech
by asking Bradley il it was true that
he had stated at London and else
where that GOV. Knott had written
tho speech he, Buckner, delivered at
Lexington. Bradley squirmed, but
finally stated that he had so stated
upon the responsibility of Jim Jones
of London. Buckner then denounced
the charge as false and outrageous and
Cancelled all joint appointments, de-
olining to meet on the stump a man
who would wilfully circulate SLAM
der with the intention ofhumiliating
and disgracing him. Gen. Buckner
made his speech without again allud-
ing 10 his defa mer and left the room.
To make Bradley's disgrace more
complete, Jas. w. Jones, of London, a
staunch Republican, published card
in the Courier-Journal denying that
lie told Bradley any such thing, there
by presenting Bradley in the pitiable
and contemplate light of having cir
culated SANDER and then by a false
statement having tried to shoulder the
responsibility upon an innocent
friend.

Zeno F. Young has the courage OF

he shall be elected to the Senate he
will in all matters of a merely local
and non-political character, upon
which the people are greatly divided,
he governed by petition and remon-
STRANGE. liza petition, for instance,
should be placed in his hands asking
him to secure the passage of a bill
providing for resubmission of the
prohibition question to the voters Of
Hopkins county, or TO the voters OF
Christian county, and a remonstrancc
should he placed in his hands pro-
testing against such legislation, he
would count the names of the legal
voters upon the two papers and be
governed by the majority. That is
Democratic and it is right. 1t is a
cardinal doctrine of the Democratic
party that the majority should rule.
Will Mr.. Lumsford take the same po-
sition with reference to the prohibit
ton question? If he will, well and
good. 1.-The will not his silence can
only mean that the wishes of the ma
jority will have no weight with him.
His silence will mean that he will act
arbitrarily and without regard for the
wishes of the people whose sufI'rages
he is seeking. viii Mr.. Lunsford tell
he people Of this county and of Chris

Rev. Eugene Evans, in his speech
last night, pitched into the Demo-
cratic party of Kentucky, as an enc
my to the education of the colored
man. The figures do not bear him
out and man of his clerical cut
should not mislead his followers.
While the Republican party had con-
troll, up TO 1867, the school tax was 5
cents and none oft went to the col
ored people. To-day every white
man in the State pays a school tax of
% cents and the colored child of
school age gets exactly the same
amount that the white child gets, the
per capita being 81 90 in each case.
Last year the negro schools drew
from the State treasury $I67,G96 81 (;
they paid into the treasury only 3d.
53S.70. In other words the white
people of this Democratic State gave
TO their school fund 153,l2797. They
were glad to give this, and il is hard
ly fair to charge them with being
enemies of the education of colored

would make a senator who would re-
fleet credit upon the district and be-

Lunsford is man of little ability, OF
small information and without the
capacity necessary TO make even an
intelligent town trustee. If elected
he would be the shortest horse ever
sent from this or any other district to

The followers of Fountain Fox
we will not call them Prohibitionists
because there are just as good prohi.
bitionists in both Democratic and Re-
publican parties as can be found in
the ranks OF the Foxites-are boast
ing that they will draw largely from
the Democratic vote of former years.
We have heard of but very few DEM
ocrats in this county who will vote
against their ticket. In 1884 st. John
received only 62 votes in the county
and we doubt very seriously if Fox
will get even as many votes this year.
The prohibition law has been voted
In majority of the counties Of the
State and nearly everywhere this
result was accomplished, as it was
here, by keeping the question out OF
politics and letting the temperance
people of all parties act in concert.
AS we have before had occasion to
say, the man who insists on making
prohibition the one issue of a so called
political party, is either a crank,
fanatic or chronic Office
seeker actuated by selfish motives.

More Than He Bargained For.

John r. Mclean is very fond of q joke
and has the good sense to appreciate one
at his own expense. One day he was
walking rapidly with friend along a
street. At the corner he saw very
hardup-lookiDg old man on the opposite
corner gazing listlessly into vacancy.
"Watch me surprise this old fellow"
said he to his friend; "look right into
his face aud see if he won't be q study"
A second later they were abreast the
old chap, when John pulled silver coin
out of his pocket and said, as he thrust
it into the old mans hand:
"Here's that quarter owed you. Now
don't go around any more telling people
1 don't pay my debts. I always speak
we'll of you, and you have no reason tc
do otherwise by me-"
For a second the old mans face was q
study. He was amazed at the unlocked
for kindness, and then, as its purpor'
dawned upon him, he touched his latter
ed hat and said:
"God bless your amer, I'll never say
another word agin ye, but" land here hi
eyes twinkled merrily) "are ye sure il
wasn't two quarters yez owed me e?''
The friend roared and, as Mclean red
dened to the roots of his hair, exclaimed
ooh, pay the man in full. Don't try
to beat him out of quarter"
The Irishman got another quarter ir
addition to the first. Cincinnati CONNER
